  [SPEAKER_00]: In 2026, the biggest difference, I'm going to say this upfront, the biggest difference between those who build massive wealth and those who stay stuck or who just stay at the average space isn't just about income.
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, let me go ahead and just put that out there and out there now.
• 0:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's about information.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if you're struggling, you would say, man, how come I can't get past this level?
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's because you like certain information.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna hit you with some sats and some facts to help you understand what I mean.
• 0:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nearly half of Americans can't even answer basic money questions.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you?
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most adults are one emergency away from a financial disaster.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the average American lost over $1,000 last year from not knowing how money wears.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And here's the kicker.
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here it is, the kicker.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: People who read on a regular,
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: for learning and for self development, not just because of school and not just because of work, these individuals tend to earn more and build more wealth and bounce back even faster from setbacks.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to break out of the paycheck cycle, if you wanna break a pass where you are to where you may not be living paycheck, but you're like, man, I feel like I'm at my ceiling.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's a truth.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: You don't need to finance the greed, watch this, you don't even need more money.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: You need the right information.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You need the right mindset and the right habits.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even go further, the right daily habits that will get you past where you are.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And today, I'm going to be giving you five books.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: that personally changed my life.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Five books that got me from living patient to paycheck.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Five books that broke the habits that I formed when I was living with my parents because I only could duplicate what I saw.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then when I expanded my mind, it expanded my information when my information expanded my wallet, my heart, my habits started changing.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I want to give it these books that I personally read and I have them with me today.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And book number one is how rich people think by Steve.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: This book, this book, bless my life tremendously.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't even put it in the words how this book, but I want to give it a core lesson, a core principle of this book.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this book is a wake-up call.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see Steve spent decades interviewing multi-millionaires and found that the biggest difference isn't talent or even look.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's about how they think about money, how they see money, how they think money, how they see opportunities, how they even think and take advantage of opportunities.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And here's something that we are afraid to talk about.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: is how they even think about risk.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, some of us may see a risk as a danger or a warning sign to avoid.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But in this book, he talks about, there are good risks and there are bad risks and how you look at risk determines how you're going to build well.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most people are taught to play it safe.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most people are taught to avoid risk, and settle for just enough.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me give you an example.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Go to school, take out suit of loans, get you a degree, get you a degree, and get you a good job.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Work that job for 40 years.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Get your home.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you can retire with Social Security and some good benefits.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the safe route.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, wealthy people see money as a tool.
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't see money as a goal.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Woo!
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, they focus on solutions, not just problems.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: They invest in themselves first.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: When I first read this book, I realized,
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking like a middle class earner, saving for sure, but not building anything.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: The moment I started asking, how can I afford this?
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Instead of, I can't afford this every single thing changed.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want you to get this book, how rich people think, and every single book that I'm going to go through today is going to be linked inside the show notes.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I want you to do me a favor before you even get this book.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Today, during the show, I want you to write down three beliefs you have about money.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I want to ask yourself this question, are these three beliefs helping me build wealth or are they keeping me stuck?
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then from there, I want you to challenge one of them this week, and then next week, I want you to challenge another thought process, because I promise you, how rich people think is going to be amazing, you don't have to be rich to think like a rich person, like a wealthy person, technically you got to have a rich mindset.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: and a rich heart before you can be rich.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pick up this book.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here is a book number two, secrets of the millionaire mine, mastering the inner game of wealth.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, listen, this book compliments how rich people think because I literally just said it, you gotta think rich to get rich.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: that your financial thermostat, I would say, is set by, how do I say this?
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're upbringing your environment, the environment as far as in what your parents provided and on top of that, your daily habits.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: What happens to your family if something happened to you?
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna ask that again.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: What happens to your family when something happens to you?
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, life insurance feels scary.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It feels complicated and even expensive.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing, it doesn't have to be anymore.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most of us are walking around with no life insurance policy, but we have a name brand item.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Think it, I'm young, I'm healthy, I got time.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I want to be honest with you, I am so sorry.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's not fake.
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is pure foolishness.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's what I love about my friends already, those.

• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Term life insurance is cure protection
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look, I healthy 30-year-old can get a $500,000 policy for about $25,000 a month.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's less than your Netflix is Spotify combined.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, your family deserves to be protected.

  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's get back to today's show.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to change your result, if you want to get past, live in a paycheck to paycheck.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to get past what you saw your family going through, you have to change your mindset and your daily actions.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not just your goals, not just watches, not even just praying family.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Prayer is a great start.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: but how we think and how we process things is super, super important.
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, wealth isn't just about what we do.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's about who we become on the inside.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're always broke, it's not just your income, it's your blueprint.
• 8:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're always saying I can't afford it, it's the identity you believe on the inside of Bachelors' self.
• 9:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I personally use to think, making money would fix everything.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But until I change my habits, budgeting, saving, and investing, y'all, I'm going to be honest with you.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I stay stuck.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: This book gave me the structure to reset my financial thermostat.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: this book made me understand this book and how rich people think made me understand that I can go out there a hustle and get two or three jobs.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if I don't change how I think if I don't shift my mindset, but how I think about money, how I see money, how I think and believe
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: For this particular book, I want you to track every dollar you spend for the next seven days.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why Anthony?
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because awareness is the first step to change.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: You'll be able to see a man I spend money on vending machines or man I spend money on eating out to eat man.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't spend money on things that's going to help me become rich.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Don't forget all of these books will be inside.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: today's show now.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: This next one is a book that I believe a lot of you have not.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: read.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I recently just picked up this book and I say, I would say it is definitely a challenging and a convicting book to read.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: This book is called Poor Charlie's and I'm going to link this inside, but this book is the wisdom that builds generational well.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Charlie,
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: is all about mental models, ways of thinking that can help you better.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me say that again, help you make better decisions, avoid big mistakes and spot opportunities others miss.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that is a thing that really stood out to me in this book.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: is that how many financial opportunities have we missed?
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because of mistakes that we made.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Remember, I told you all, every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to something.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you made a mistake and bought this car.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And because you bought this car, when an investment opportunity happens, when a start market went low and stocks went on sale, you missed the right opportunity to build wealth
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: This book challenge you and it teaches you that wealthy people don't just work harder.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They think completely different.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: One of the things that I've realized, lot of people have been asking me, and then why are you buying it, God?
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why are you going over to Africa?
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, wealthy people think future.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And within the next 10 to 15 years, oh my gosh, Donna's gonna be a wealth machine, and if I don't get into it now, I'm gonna miss out.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So no, I'm not buying any more cars and no, I'm not buying any more luxury items.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am buying land and property because I'm thinking like a wealthy individual, because wealthy individuals, they use frameworks, not just fillings.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: They use systems and strategy, not just Instagram likes.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Charlie is a masterclass and how to think, not just what to think.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, that's gonna, man, I'm gonna give you all something there.
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I need y'all to catch on to what I'm trying to put down today.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some of us actually respect the saying is, the majority of us need a class on how to think about money, how to think about opportunities, how to to assess where we're going, not just what to think.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I get tired when I sit around people and I had to remind myself, you know what?
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: You just think indifferently.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: How come you haven't opened up a mutual fund?
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I already had an index fund.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope man, I don't know the stocks market.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's stock market.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm scared to bank, made that out of the... How you think is keeping you broke.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Building credit the traditional way as slow and confusing.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And most credit cards want you to rack up debt just to boost your score.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, I used to think that you have to choose between staying debt-free or having a good credit score.
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, but, but.
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's what I've discovered.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's actually a way to build credit without any credit checks, without going into debt, and without paying crazy interest fees.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it works faster than I thought possibly my friends at kickoff.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are the truth.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are doing something different.
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: They help you build credit the right way without the debt track.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've seen people go from no credit to a 700 plus score using their system, and they did it completely debt-free.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So one more time, completely debt-free.
• 14:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Overall, 150,000 people have left five star reviews on the app store.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Users see an average of 34.1 increase in their credit scores.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some even see watch this up to 84 points within the first 12 months.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: These aren't just numbers.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: These are real people getting approved for homes and getting better interest rates.
• 14:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's to sure, every month you wait is another month of paying higher interest rates on everything.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: A good credit score can save you a lot of money.
• 15:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thousands on a mortgage, hundreds on car insurance, and even help you skip the security deposits.
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Don't let bad credit cost you money.
• 15:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking to visit anthonyo.com for Sasuke Golf right now to get started for his little ass $1 on your first month.
• 15:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want you to build credit that debt freeway
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: When I started applying mental models, like inversion, watch this, asking how could this fail?
• 15:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Ooh!
• 15:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Or opportunity calls.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I stopped making the same mistakes over and over.
• 15:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: What do you mean opportunity calls Anthony?
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's simple.
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: In this book, it shows you.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, if I go buy a, if I go spend $1,000 on a brand new iPhone every single year, and if I put that $1,000 inside a good index fund, over the next 40 years, if I never invest something, it's going to be a hundred plus $1,000.
• 16:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the opportunity calls for me to buy the new iPhone
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Every single year, I'm saying no to possibly another $100,000 if I was invested.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the opportunity cause.
• 16:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So now any time that I'm spending money before I say yes, I sit back and I ask myself, what's the opportunity cause here?
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if I'm okay with the opportunity cause then I move forward.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: But half of the times when I sit back and I assess what's the opportunity cause?
• 16:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's when my money started really compounding.
• 16:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's when my money started really working more for me.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I stopped working as hard.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still work hard.
• 16:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I started working smart.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I made sure that my money started working more for me.
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's something that I want you to do to it.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: This book challenged you.
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm telling you right now, you get this book.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be convicted.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Before your next big purchase, better yet,
• 17:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: ask, what's the worst that could happen?
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in second, what's the opportunity cause if I do nothing?
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a good book.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's another book, number four, that man, I really, really, I got to read this book once a year.
• 17:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: As you can see, it's a big book.
• 17:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a thick book.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: thinking fast and slow by my good friend Daniel.
• 17:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see Daniel breaks down how our brains use two systems.
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not one.
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Two systems.
• 17:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: One fast, emotional and impulsive.
• 17:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the other is logical and deliberate.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me say it's one more time.
• 18:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our brain uses two systems.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: One system is it moves fast.
• 18:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's emotional, it's impulsive, it's going going going going going going going.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the other is slow.
• 18:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's logical, it thinks it processes and it builds intentionality.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most money mistakes happen when we're in our fast mode.
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this book breaks down to help us understand are we thinking in the fast mode, or we're thinking in the slow mode?
• 18:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you ever, like myself, purchase something you regretted or panicked during a market drop, you've been hijacked, watched this by your fast brain.
• 18:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I remember one time I went and purchased a car because
• 18:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Individuals started saying, yo, you're Anthony O'Neill.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I see you on the news.
• 19:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: You talking about money, but you got a card.
• 19:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: You doesn't have AC, but the card was paid for.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Instead of me going to fix the AC system, I went and bought a car.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why?
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because my brain was in the fast mode.
• 19:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: But what I learned is that wealthy people slow down.
• 19:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, if the individuals check their emotions, they check their mind, they check how they fill in.
• 19:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: They turn off Instagram and TikTok, and they make decisions, watch this with structure and with the right strategy.
• 19:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: not based upon what will make them popular, what will get the no likes and the hearts on TikTok and on Instagram, what will get the reviews on YouTube?
• 19:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, they're saying, okay, wait, is this a part of the strategy?
• 19:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me use my slow mind set system, rather than my fast mind set system.
• 19:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I can make the best decision that impacts me that will eventually impact my community, it can impact my church, it can impact my employees, it can impact my children's children's children
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Think about that, how you're thinking today about money, how you're processing things today about money, think about the great, great grandchild that you will not have the opportunity to meet because we will all be in heaven.
• 20:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And think about how your decision today, using the slow system of your mind, can impact him or her 40, 50, 60, 100 years down the road.
• 20:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because here's the truth, here's the truth.
• 20:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I use to chase every hot investment.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now I pause, now I do research, and now I ask, is this a long term move or am I just reaching?
• 20:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And am I just reacting?
• 20:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: That pause, from being honest, has saved me thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars.
• 21:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: That fast mind said chasing the bag, chasing money,
• 21:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I put like 20 bands into Bitcoin one time, because Arizona said, oh man, this coin is gonna go viral, it's gonna go, it's gonna make millionaires.
• 21:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to miss out, man, I put 20 bands and lost it all.
• 21:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I cried, but that was my fast mindset.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't pause, I didn't run it through my system, I didn't run it through my research strategy.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, next time you feel pressured to make a money move fast, I need you to pause for 24 to 48 hours.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually putting the new one in.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have not read the new one because it has some new research and examples, new chapters on the unity principle and new insights for digital business.
• 22:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I picked this one up as I could see again, it's thick.
• 22:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now I picked this one up because I want to read this one so I can get some new research examples so I can continue to learn more and teach you all more.
• 22:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the previous edition, Robert reveals the six
• 22:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: how marketers, salespeople, and even friends can nudge you into decisions you wouldn't make otherwise.
• 22:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is very good because one, you can know how people are selling to you.
• 22:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then too, I think sales, I think understanding how to influence people is very, very important for all of our businesses.
• 22:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: because I'm trying to influence you all to get out of debt.
• 22:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to influence you all to start investing more.

  [SPEAKER_00]: So, influence, having influence, and having the way to persuading for the good, for the kingdom is always good.
• 23:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you don't understand persuasion, you will get played.
• 23:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: by friends, by even watching your own emotions.
• 23:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, if the people at the end of the day, they know how to say no.
• 23:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Watchers, they even know how to spot someone who may be trying to get them, like manipulate them.
• 23:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: But well, if the people, here's what I have learned.

  [SPEAKER_00]: They've learned how to influence for the good.
• 23:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've learned how to read the Bible.
• 23:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: get up on the Sunday morning, make that word relevant to today and use that word to influence us to want to get closer to Christ.

  [SPEAKER_00]: They learn how to take influence and persuasion and persuade us into opening up a Roth IRA that we're using influence and persuasion to help you get out of
• 24:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I'm being honest and transparent with you, I used to get caught up in the limited time offers and this cell is going to go off tomorrow and by now pay later, because this deal is going away tonight at midnight.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if I'm being very honest with you, he's be persuaded by peer pressure.
• 24:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've made decisions that I'm not proud of because of being persuaded.
• 24:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But today, now I recognize the persuasion, the tactics and now I made decisions on my terms.
• 25:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now I made decisions with my slow mindset.
• 25:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Before you buy anything big, remember, and you
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I also need you to ask yourself this during those 24 to 48 hours.
• 25:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Am I being influenced or am I making this choice for me?
• 25:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, the real wealth gap isn't just about money.
• 25:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is about information.
• 25:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've truly do believe the word when it says, people perish for the lack of knowledge.
• 25:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: 70% of us are living in a paycheck to paycheck, not because of our income, but because of the lack of knowledge.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some of us are living above a paycheck to paycheck.
• 26:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are the average middle class.
• 26:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: We have a little bit of margin, but we don't have
• 26:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of margin.
• 26:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some of us feel stuck at this glass.
• 26:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just can't break through.
• 26:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just can't break through and get this job promotion.
• 26:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: My business can't get past making $10,000 a month.
• 26:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just can't get past my side hustle getting past $2,000 a month.
• 26:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not because of your income.
• 26:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's because you don't have the right knowledge.
• 26:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: that can help you get there.
• 26:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you read these five books, you'll be in the top tier of financial preparedness.
• 26:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: You'll be in a top 10% watch this.
• 26:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me say this again.
• 26:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me say this way.
• 26:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: You'll be thinking like the top 10% of wealthy individuals.
• 26:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: You may not have the bag yet.
• 27:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: But when we can start thinking like them, and then when you can get in rooms and start having a conversations like them, I promise you, hear me clearly, the bag is gonna follow.
• 27:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you start reading these five books, and I two, three months, I'm gonna give you all another three books that I need to pick up.
• 27:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got one book, I really want you all to get.
• 27:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just can't mention it today, I forgot about it.
• 27:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if you read these five books, you're gonna be different.
• 27:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing, here's the thing.
• 27:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing.
• 27:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going into a black history month and celebrating everything black people have been through.
• 27:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I remember hearing this quote that if white people wanted to hire something from black people put it in the book, but if you want to inspire them to motivate them to move on and put it in music and put it on television,
• 28:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it bothered me, but I never acted.
• 28:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I never did anything different.
• 28:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I never still went and picked up a book.
• 28:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if I'm being honest, I felt like my business hit this plateau.
• 28:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I said, you know what, I'm hitting the plateau because I don't have
• 28:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: the correct information to get me to the next season of my life.
• 28:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I stopped chasing ladies, I stopped doing the crazy stuff, to stupid stuff, and I went back to school.
• 28:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now I read a book, I sit in my massage chair every single night for 30 minutes, and I read a book.
• 28:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, class two days a week and I'm and I'm learning and I'm expanding.
• 28:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So here's why I need you to do, pick one book from these five, take one action that you learn in this book, and apply it to your life.
• 29:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in the comment section, please let me know which book you're going to be starting with.
• 29:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to be both get all five,
• 29:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to get to a point, but then our community that we're reading one book a month.
• 29:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm honestly even thinking about starting a book club.
• 29:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're interested in starting a book club, just put book club inside the comment section.
• 29:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because I want to see how many of us seriously.
• 29:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm talking about starting a book club to where we'll jump on a Zoom call, we'll have thousands.
• 29:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we'll get it in here and we'll talk about it.
• 29:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll talk about what I learned from this book and how I'm processing and how I'm doing things on my level and let's talk about you on your level.
• 29:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're ready to break free from paycheck to paycheck, if you're ready to break free into the next season of your life, this is your year.
• 30:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you all noticed, I didn't do anything about goals this year because I get tired of saying goals.
• 30:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: We set goals and we don't hit on we set goals and we don't hit on every single year.
• 30:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: The first two months of the year, oh my God, we got goals.
• 30:12

• 30:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to be able to go with Africa and live there for three to four months out of the year and serve and serve that community over there with the information that God has given me.
• 30:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm tired of setting goals for one freaking year.
• 30:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, I want to expand my brain, learn even more, and just every single day become a better individual.
• 30:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not every year, every single day, because every single day I'm growing.
• 31:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: If every single day I'm growing by 5%, I'm learning a new word, I'm learning something new.
